Chapter 449: Your Majesty Doesn’t Need It, I Do
Liu An heard the complaining voice of the servant inside the door through the red riveted gate, and dodged to the shadow of a stone lion nearby while holding Chan Changlin.
There was a creaky sound as the red door opened. Liu An's breathing slowed down. The servant inside the door yawned, walked a few steps out, and found that there was no one outside the door.
He cursed in a low voice, "Who is so crazy as to knock on my door in the middle of the night? If I catch you, you will be in trouble." Then he turned around and went back home to close the door.
Liu An signaled with his eyes to his subordinates behind him to step forward and knock the man unconscious.
The knocked unconscious servant was thrown to the ground at random, but without making much noise.
Liu An lowered his voice and called Xiao Sanzi to the side. Xiao Sanzi was a kid he picked up when he went to Jiangnan for a mission. Although he had no talent in martial arts, he was meticulous and good at intelligence. He was known as a know-it-all and was deeply trusted by the prince.
"San, don't take part in this mission. The prince is now in your hands. You must set off immediately and bring him back."
The thin little Sanzi, who wore a black scarf on his face and only showed a pair of puppy eyes, hurriedly took over Chan Changlin who was supported by Liu An.
Looking at the third child who was hesitant to speak, "Hurry up and say it. Stop being so shy. You look like a sissy."
"Master, Ling'an was captured by the Gu Mansion yesterday. The spies reported that he is in the dungeon of the Gu Mansion. I want... I want... to rescue him."
Liu An's expression became more and more serious. He clenched his right fist and then unclenched it. Finally, he couldn't help it and slapped the little boy in front of him.
Xiao Sanzi's head was knocked sideways after being hit, but his body did not shake at all and he still held on to Chan Changlin steadily. With his face red and swollen, tears welled up in his eyes but he dared not let them fall. He stood there stubbornly and refused to leave.
Liu An lowered his voice and scolded, "Do you think that even if someone enters the Gu Mansion and gets out alive, the prince will still use him? You should know that if a secret guard is useless, he will die. If he dies here, it is a worthy death. The most important thing now is to send the prince back safely."
I saw Xiao Sanzi biting his slightly pale lips tightly, his eyes revealing a hint of stubbornness and pleading, "Your Highness doesn't need it, I will. I can't watch him die. Master, please, I will hide him. He is so weak, just a scoundrel who can pass on information and has some Qinggong skills. I will send him away, send him far away, and treat him as dead."
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
"It's just a bastard who practices martial arts, slacks off, can't do anything right, passes on some information, and gets caught. You are worthy of risking your life for him."
For some reason, Liu An felt his anger suddenly rising.
Seeing the third boy staring at him with red eyes but refusing to give in, Liu An finally gave in.
"Go away, I'll send him to the thatched cottage outside the city, and the rest is up to you."
Xiao Sanzi's eyes lit up and he nodded hurriedly, "Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master."
After saying this, he hurriedly left with Chan Changlin.
Liu An looked at their receding backs, sighed deeply, then straightened his clothes and led his men to sneak towards Gu Mansion.
That night, the blood of the people in the Gu Mansion flowed out through the gate, but strangely, no sound was made. Only the slightly old red lantern hanging on the eaves of the gate went out with a puff.
